Impregnated palladium on magnetite, a new catalyst for the ligand-free cross-coupling Suzuki-Miyaura reaction

A new catalyst for the cross-coupling Suzuki-Miyaura reaction is reported. The impregnated palladium on magnetite catalyst is very easy to prepare using the standard impregnation methodology. This catalyst avoids the use of any type of expensive and difficult handle organic ligand, showing excellent yields, under mild reaction conditions, for the classical formation of biaryl compounds. The catalyst is very easy to remove from the reaction medium, only by using a simple magnet, and it could be re-used up to three times with only a slightly decrease of the chemical yield.

Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction on copper-trans-A(2)B corroles with excellent functional group tolerance

The palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction has been investigated on meso-substituted trans-A₂B-corrole using tailored Pd-catalyst systems.We present the first examples of Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions on meso-substituted trans-A₂B-corrole derivatives with neutral, sterically hindered, inactivated and heteroaromatic boronic acids and esters, alkenylboronic acids, as well as quickly deboronating aryl boronic acids and benzo-condensated five membered heterocyclic boronic acids. In addition, we established a high-yield procedure for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of corroles with neutral boronic acids.Due to the lability of the free-base corrole macrocycles, functionalization of the corrole periphery was performed with the corresponding Cu-metallated species. meso-Substituted trans-A₂B-corrole can hence be regarded as highly versatile platform towards more sophisticated corrole systems.X-ray structure analysis of a functionalized meso-substituted trans-A₂B copper corrole exhibited the typical features of such a Cu-complex: short N-Cu distances and a saddled corrole configuration.Moreover, we observed a sensitivity of the formal oxidation state of the coordinated copper ions towards Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction conditions, where the central copper(III) ion approaches the characteristic features of a copper(II) species. This redox behaviour was examined by UV/vis absorption spectra, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments and time-dependent density functional theoretical calculations.

The catalyst 6b presents the highest efficiency in the coupling processes for less reactive 2-bromothiophene. Moreover, the reactions can be carried out at room temperature under aerobic conditions to give the corresponding biaryls in high yields. Additionally, the triphenylphosphine adduct of cyclopalladated ferrocenylimidazoline 7a was structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Pd-catalyzed boronations and cross-coupling reactions of aromatic cobaltadithiolene complexes with aryl halides

The Pd-catalyzed reaction of [CpCo(S2C2(Ph)(Bpin))] (1, Bpin = 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaboronate) with 1-iodonaphthalene or 2-bromothiophene gave the cross-coupling product [CpCo(S2C2(Ph)(Ar))] (Ar = 1-Np (4) or 2-Th (5)), although an early paper described the reaction of 1 with 3-bromopyridine or 9-bromoanthracene (Ar = 3-Py (2) or 9-Anth (3)). The boronation of the brominated precursor [CpCo(S2C2(p-C6H4Br)(H))] (7) with Bpin-H in the presence of Pd catalyst gave the expected boronated product [CpCo(S2C2(p-C6H4Bpin)(H))] (8) but also underwent an unexpected direct boronation on the dithiolene carbon to form [CpCo(S2C2(p-C6H4Br)(Bpin))] (9). The brominated complex 7 or [CpCo(S2C2(Ph)(p-C6H4Br))] (10) was synthesized by thermal reaction and the microwave-enhanced reaction relatively gave better yield with shorter reaction time than that of the conventional heating reaction. The cross-coupling reactions of the boronated or [CpCo(S2C2(Ph)(p-C6H4Bpin))] (11) with aryl halides successfully produced the corresponding cross-coupling products such as [CpCo(S2C2(p-C6H4Py)(H))] (12) or [CpCo(S2C2(p-C6H4Anth)(H))] (13) from 8 and [CpCo(S2C2(Ph)(p-C6H4Py))] (14) from 11. The structures of 7, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14 were determined by X-ray diffraction studies. Electronic absorption maxima (λ_max) due to dithiolene LMCT in dichloromethane solution can be modified in the range of 574-602 nm by a substituent effect on the dithiolene ring. Redox potentials obtained from CV measurement were also reported.

Judicial removal of the protecting group on the piperazine, or facile reduction of the nitro group on the biaryl system enabled the manipulation of two points of functionality in order to diversify the scope of the resulting biaryl library.     

2-Aminophenyl diphenylphosphinite as an easily accessible ligand for heterogeneous palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction in water in the absence of any organic co-solvent

In this article, we have introduced application of 2-aminophenyl diphenylphosphinite as an easily accessible ligand for heterogeneous palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction in water in the absence of any organic co-solvent. By using 2-aminophenyl diphenylphosphinite as a ligand and Pd(OAc)₂ as the pre-catalyst, structurally different aryl halides (I, Br, Cl) were reacted efficiently with phenylboronic acid in water to produce their corresponding biphenyl products in good to excellent yields under heterogeneous conditions. The catalyst is recyclable and was recycled for seven runs for the reaction of bromobenzene with phenylboronic acid without appreciable loss of its catalytic activity.     

Polymer-supported palladium catalysed Suzuki-Miyaura reactions in batch and a mini-continuous flow reactor system

A polymer-supported palladium(II) salen-type complex exhibited catalytic activity in the cross-coupling reaction of various aryl bromides and heteroaryl bromides with phenylboronic acid in a mini-continuous flow reactor system at elevated temperatures in a phosphine-free system. The reaction was also performed in batch using a number of different solvent systems in order to optimise conditions. The catalytic mini-reactor can be used repeatedly over several cycles in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. While the diameter of the flow channel is 3 mm, the macroporous resin supported catalyst is solvent expanded to completely fill the channel. Consequently, the liquid path is through the micro channels of the macroporous resin structure. Intensification of the process over the stirred batch reaction is through increased reagent-catalyst contact and results in a 20-fold increase in the rate of reaction. The residence/space time on the reactor is 10.5 min, compared to 24 h in batch, which means that a diversity of starting materials can be screened over a short period of time. To demonstrate the utility of the system, a diversity of aryl and heteroaryl bromides have been studied.     

Synthesis of biphenylamines via Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions

A small library of meta- and para-biphenylamines substituted by various alkyl, alkoxy, phenoxy, or halogeno groups on their aromatic rings was synthesized via Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling between bromoanilines and arylboronic acids using palladium catalysts. The experimental conditions were carefully adjusted to accommodate a wide range of substituents, in terms of electron-withdrawing or -donating ability and steric bulk. In some cases, protection and deprotection of the amine function via its trifluoroacetamide were added to the reaction sequence in order to facilitate the cross-coupling step.     

Highly practical boronic acid surrogates for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling
